    Passion into action 2011—a success.

    I feel so honored to have been in the company of such awesome women this weekend at See Jane Do’s Passion into Action conference (a fabulous space brought to us by the estimable Elisa Parker and Jesse Locks).

    How to make kombucha

    (From Shan Kendall‘s Nourishing Traditions Foodie class) Kombucha is a beverage made from black tea and white sugar, and fermented through the use of a unique “mother” or Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria & Yeasts (SCOBY).  Although the use of other sweeteners and other kinds of tea are possible, the most glucaronic acid is produced when white [...]

    Have you heard about this little stroke of genius that some movie theaters are doing? In this case, the Camera Cinemas, offers a daytime showing dedicated to parents with babies. Kids up to 4 y.o. are welcome for no charge. (They also offer a Diaper Date Night for the whole fam.) Everyone brings their baby [...]

That evolved into the niche of self-employed, home office folks and thus dealing mostly with information management. For many people, managing information is confusing and contributes to crazy amounts of [...]
